Comment:

 Sure. As a specific example, set the Wordpress timezone to
 Pacific/Auckland (currently GMT+13), and run the following code from the
 root dir (altering domain/user/pass as appropriate):

 {{{
 <?php
 include('./wp-load.php');

 include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-IXR.php' );
 include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wp-http-ixr-client.php' );

 $client = new WP_HTTP_IXR_CLIENT( 'http://www.domain.com/xmlrpc.php' );

 $content = array(
         'post_type'=>'post',
         'post_title'=>'Test post',
         'post_status'=>'publish',
         'post_author'=>1,
         'post_date'=>'2014-12-01 12:00:00'
 );

 $client->query('wp.newPost','','username','password',$content,true);
 }}}

 The resulting dates in the database will be:

 post_date_gmt: 2014-11-30 23:00:00 (correct)
 post_date: 2014-12-02 01:00:00 (13 hours later than it should be)

 Not experienced enough with organising unit tests myself yet sorry!sorry!
